Problem overview

Some Nissan Juke owners report experiencing issues with their AC system, such as hot air blowing when the vehicle is idle, while it cools down at speeds of 20-30 mph. This problem may be attributed to low or overcharged refrigerant, which can significantly impact cooling performance. Additionally, a malfunctioning compressor could contribute to the hot air issue. Owners may also find that a dirty or clogged condenser affects the AC's efficiency. Furthermore, a defective cooling fan may hinder heat dissipation from the condenser, leading to inadequate cooling. Blend door issues can also disrupt temperature control within the cabin, resulting in inconsistent cooling. Lastly, some owners report potential electrical climate control issues that could be affecting the AC system's functionality. It is recommended that these owners consult a professional mechanic to diagnose and address the specific causes of their AC problems.
